"Yes my. It's not a good time." cried Alvin while kicking his motorcycle tyre.
The young man was standing limp on the side of the highway. His eyes looked at his motorbike with an annoyed look. Yeah, he's very upset. Just imagine, this morning he had to do a presentation task in front of the class but the bike was leaked like this.
Several times he tried to stop the taxi, but it seems that all the taxis were being filled with other passengers. Why does everything seem complicated? Like today was indeed destined to be an unlucky day for him.
"I had to call Dave to hitch a ride with him. Hopefully he hasn't left yet" Alvin said in a hurry to get his phone out of his backpack.
Alvin sighed when Dave never picked up the phone from him.
"Why didn't he pick up the phone from me? Has he gone to college?" Alvin murmuring.
He was silent, thinking who else he could ask for help. To be honest he was not close to many people, even on campus he was only close to Dave a.
Tin! Tin!
The sound of a horn sounded in his ears. Alvin who was busy playing his phone immediately turned to the source of the sound.
The young man furrowed his brows when he saw a car stop right behind his motorbike. He looked around
He looked in wonder at the car. Alvin did not know why the car stopped, his car did not even cover the road and did not interfere with the flow of traffic because the road was a quiet road.
His face turned cold as the car window was lowered.
"Marina?"
"Is there a problem with your bike?"
Alvin did not answer. He was still trying to contact Dave.
Karina got out of her car and leaned against the body of the car, crossing both hands in front of her chest.
"You okay? Is there anything you can help?"
"It's none of your business." Alvin replied.
Instead of being offended by Alvin's words, Karina smiled. He walked over to Alvin who was standing on the sidewalk.
Karina stared at Alvin's bike for a while before switching back to the young man.
"It looks like your motorcycle tire is leaking."
"You can see it for yourself" said Alvin coldly.
"Alright," replied Karina casually.
"You can ride me if you want."
"no need. I was waiting for Dave." said Alvin again trying to contact his best friend.
Karina looked at the watch in her hand. "It's noon. Our campus is also far away. I thought you'd be late if you waited for Dave to come. "
"I can take a taxi."
"Ck, let alone looking for a taxi. There won't be an empty taxi at this hour. I thought you were gonna be late."
"Yes, thank you for telling me that."
Karina chuckles.
"Hows it? You're just coming with me?"
"No, I'll just find the ojek."
"Oject?" Karina again chuckled, "this is not even a place that is often passed by ojek."
"Go away, Karina! I can take care of myself."
"I won't leave you like this."
"It's like this, what do you mean?"
"You're in trouble. There's no way I'm leaving you. Come on, it'll be better if you come with me."
Alvin looked at Karina hesitantly. He wanted to reject the girl but her college work was also important.
"Hows it? Wants, right?"
"All right," Alvin resigned.
Karina smiled, she quickly walked back to her car. Opens the car door and allows Alvin to get into his car.
"We've arrived" Karina said, stopping her car at the campus parking lot.
"Yes, thank you for the ride" said Alvin hurriedly opened his car but was detained by Karina.
"I can take you home later in the afternoon" Karina said.
After that Alvin and Karina get off the car from Karina. Alvin could see many students looking towards them with astonished gazes.
Alvin understands.
Everyone knows that Alvin and Karina broke up a while ago. That's why they must be surprised to see their togetherness. But Alvin has no obligation to clarify anything to them.
And just then, Alvin saw Steve who was initially chatting with some friends near the parking area, also looking at them.
Ah, not them, more precisely Steve was staring at him with his sharp gaze.
"Steve must have misunderstood." muttered Alvin turned his face the other way, not wanting to see the man.
Steve must think he's teasing Karina right now. The young man always misunderstood him.
Alvin could see Steve rising up from his position and quickly stepped up, closing in on Karina.
"Darling?"
Karina smiled, "Hi, Steve."
"Why did you come along with this bodhoo youth?" steve said he was embracing Karina's shoulder.
Karina looked at Steve and then turned again to Alvin who was standing with his head lowered, the young man looked awkward in his position.
"I have to go. Thank you for the ride." said Alvin quickly stepping his feet away from the place.
Given that some time ago Steve also asked him to stay away from Karina, making him not want to deal longer with large-bodied men like Steve.
Alvin doesn't want to find anything.
Steve heard Alvin's words but he just kept quiet while raising his eyebrows. Steve didn't seem to want to respond after hearing Alvin speak. He doesn't care about that now. He was more interested in seeing Karina's face.
His girlfriend was just silent while staring at Alvin's departure. And to be honest, Karina's gaze made Steve's heart burn with jealousy.
Karina herself was still staring at Alvin's departure in silence. The girl did not seem to hear the question Steve asked her a moment ago.
Steve sighed, trying to control his current emotions. Though honestly his heart was so hot.
"Darling?"
Karina nodded and looked at Steve. "Yes?"
"Why not answer?"
"Answer what?" Karina looked at Steve with a confused look.
"I've been talking to you since, haven't you heard my question?"
Karina rubbed her face, "Geez, sorry, honey. I wasn't focused."
Steve smiled smirkingly. He knew the reason Karina was so out of focus with him was because she was Alvin. It's really annoying for Steve, seeing his girlfriend still has a taste for his ex-girlfriend.
"I asked, why did Alvin come to campus with you?"
"Ah that problem. I, I mean Alvin, the motorcycle tyre was leaking, so I-"
"You gave him a ride, did you?" guess Steve.
Karina nodded her head slowly.
"Yes, that kind of thing." Karina then turned to Steve, staring unwell at her lover. "I just want to help him. You don't matter, do you, honey?"
Steve was silent for a moment. The young man stared at Alvin's back sharply. His hands seemed to be clenching strongly.
As he remembered yesterday he had told Alvin to stay away from Karina, whatever the reason. Nor does he care whether anyone approaches first.
"Darling?" call Karina to realize Steve won't answer.
"Yes?"
"You don't matter, do you?"
"Oh, yeah. Sure do. I have no problem at all." said Steve smiling. "But don't you hate him?"
"I just realized I don't hate him at all. I even regretted doing that to her."
"Is that so?"
"Yes, I think I also need to apologize to her for my mistake" Karina smiled.
Steve smiled back. But without Karina realizing it, the smile on Steve's face turned into an annoyed look.
